This is a multisensory lesson for the vowel team: ay.
The multisensory lesson includes the following:
Title and informational page
Introductory multisensory lesson
Basic word list of ay words. This page is for students who are not yet strong as decoders, or have yet to be exposed to suffixes and prefixes.
This is a page of words that are for students who have higher decoding skills and/or have knowledge of basic suffixes.
Controlled reading of words with the vowel team "ay." Controlled reading is actually the time for reading fluency practice. 95% accuracy is the overall goal. It is okay for student to practice reading this page up to 3-4 times to develop reading fluency.
Writing activity to develop sentence writing. This is a great activity to help students develop working memory, processing speed, both critical skills for reading fluency and comprehension.
Oral reading phrase practice
Writing Activity
Box it Activity
ay Word Search This is an optional Activity. Please be aware that there are many students who do not like word searches because of the overload of neurological processes including memory, processing speed, visual memory. So please do not require this activity as a compulsory one. On the flip side of this discussion are the other students who absolutely love word searches. For these students, this is a great activity to internalize the word's spelling because each word requires a significant focus of the letter sounds and sequences. Just please be careful... teacher are great at knowing their students strengths and weaknesses.

This is both a reading and writing PDF resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham, using multisensory strategies. The point of the expression "Most Kind Old King" is to help student identify the vowel units. What is important to learn and internalize that vowel units "ost, ind, old and ing" is the vowel sound is long, not short.
Additionally, there are writing activities to support writing through the use of writing"trigger" words that support creating a visual in a student's mind that makes writing details easier. The more students write the stronger writing skills become. Too often, when students are struggling readers, the emphasis is placed on decoding and encoding. However, students need to continually write, so the opportunities in this resource are fun. There is a Mr. Potato Head Activity that can be used for young to old. High school students love to create Mr. Potato Heads. If actual Mr. Potato heads are not available, then use the cut outs provided. The cut outs have the website address attached for credit, and to locate in the future.
I hope you find these concepts and activities supportive of your needs for students or your child. Any questions, please just contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com
Thank you.

This PDF resource is a poster and can be a graphic organizer for students to keep at their desk, or in a folder to bring back and forth to school . The seven syllable types are listed and each includes a simple clip art for quick retrieval when reading or completing reading work.
the seven (7) syllable types include:
1. Closed (stop)
2. Open (we)
3. Bossry -R (BR) (shirt)
4. VCe (slide)
5. Vowel Team (VT) (beach)
6. Diphthong (DT) (boy)
7. Consonant-le (c-le) (sizzle)
This poster is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham including the use of one's senses to create a multisensory experience. For the purposes of this poster/graphic organizer, students can see the words, pictures and abbreviations for each syllable types. Teachers have different methods to explain vowel teams and vowel diphthongs. There are teachers who prefer to teach these two syllables as one under the category of Vowel Team. Others prefer to separate the two syllable types into Vowel teams - where the first long sound is heard though there are two vowels next to each other. Vowel Diphthongs, also have two vowels next to each other, but the two vowels combine to make their own unique sound.
The point is, explain to students there are two viewpoints, and share the way you present.
I hope you find this a great resource and tool. Many parents, teachers and students have shared that they like having a copy at their desks. it helps a student be a bit more independent, and not require him/her to wait for help.

Story Elements: Part One
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-story-elements-part-one-11173336
This resource supports learners using a multisensory approach . Students in high school often provide a definition of story elements but are unable to identify within a story. Students need to move beyond the “surface definitions” and apply story elements. This multisensory resource offers the basic information and interconnects practice and application.
Know the Code: Parts of Speech - Noun
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-parts-of-speech-noun-11168901
A multisensory approach to support student internalization of the part of speech – noun. While many believe students can identify and locate nouns in sentences, the reality is students are not always efficient. A challenge for students is in the identification of concepts/ideas, which are part of a noun description. Unfortunately, when students identify nouns, what it being is a basic note) “…people, places and things….” Students should be able to state “people, places, things and concepts/ideas.” A review of this bundle will highlight opportunities to support student development. Parents and teachers can select specific activities based on student need. Writing activities are included. Comprehension skills improve when students understand parts of speech within written text. Why? Students can locate the core elements in a sentence – the subject- a noun and verb. . Identification of the main subject (noun) and verb in complex sentences is critical to writing.

This is a PDF formatted resource that focuses on consonant blend "br-." this resource is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham and multisensory strategies to support student learning of concept "br-."
Additionally, many activities develop cognitive processes including working memory, long-term memory, processing speed, to name a few. Students benefit from improving cognitive abilities and moving away from pure memorization. The main goal is to internalize concepts, not memorize and forget concepts. So, the more multisensorial the activities and application activities, the stronger the learning connection!

This lesson focuses on a multisensory approach, repetition, review, sequential focus on spelling rules/generalization skill building for optimum student development and practice using multisensory strategies. It is important each student has time and opportunities to process skills to automaticity. Using a game style activity one of the method is one method to learn.
One folder has the playing cards with 45 (X 2 for matching game cards) game cards. Teachers can make this a learning center activity.
The other folder is a version in power point format that contains all of the slides used for the game cards, plus additional student activities to develop the separate spelling rules and generalizations.
Those particular rules and generalizations include:
plural -s
plural -es
"fszl"
"-ck"
"-tch"
"dge"
"age"
Doubling Rule
E Rule
Change Y Rule
Optional Use: There are "wild cards" - students can change rule (if they turned over a different rule, so they have a "second chance" at getting a matched pair with another opportunity to turn over another card.
Optional: Lose a Turn cards
TEACHERS: You can determine the amount of rules to allow students to use. Remember there are 90 cards with the ten spelling rules/generalizations, young students developing visual memory will do better with less cards.But, as students's skills increase, consider increasing the number of rules/generalizations to include.
This concentration game is useful for single players, partners or small groups.
This bundle is priced affordably. Copying or sharing is dishonesat; please encourage individuals to purchase their own copy.
Does your school district want to order and create a purchase order? There is the option of a purchase order! Just email me for any questions or requests!

Looking for a model of a short story plot triangle model for your students? Would any of your students benefit from having a graphic organizer of a short story plot triangle? Would you like to save time reinventing "the short story plot triangle" for every short story discussed? This resource uses the Most Dangerous Game, a classic suspense short story read in so many middle and high schools. Teach the short story triangle using The Most Dangerous Game. Students read the story, learn about the specific aspects of a short story plot triangle, and then can independently use the information in this resource for additional short stories comprehension!
The second file contains the actual text of the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Since this classic suspense fictional short story is available online for free, I downloaded, formatted so students can annotate and have an easier time reading the text. The price of this multisensory resource if for the power point only - the story is free and available by "googling "free text of The Most Dangerous Game." It is my hope that providing it would save you time!
Additional strategies are included to support student development beyond the short story triangle such as a K-W-L graphic organizer, and a mini lesson on what strategies are and why strategies are important for readers to use when reading. For many students, unless explicitly explains and discussed, the connection is not made and students may continue to struggle year after year due to their uncertainty of what the literacy elements are to the short story triangle!

If you feel overwhelmed just hearing the word SCHWA, then this is the multisensory lesson is for you and your students. This multisensory resource provides powerful information related to the concept of schwa. So often, students ask "BUT WHY?" when it comes to schwa. Quite frankly, many adults know and can identify a schwa, but are at a loss when kids want to know more than the "upside-down "e" represents the schwa sound.
This is a PDF document filled with information, word lists, and fun activities, and answer keys for application activities that students can use after to check their work.
You will even find a Schwa Rap that can be performed by you and/or your students. I love being silly with my students - imagine doing a schwa rap song to 12th graders. It has been my experience, over and over again, that when I laugh and engage in fun while teaching a concept, the students learn! Maybe at this point in my teaching career I love to make the kids groan, but I really know each student loves the fun!
